Sir Aglovale de Galis, son of King Pellinore, was not always one of the good guys among King Arthur's knights. In this 1905 novel inspired by Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, Clemence Housman fills in his character's motivations and connections to his family and other knights, drawing on hints from the original and human nature. Clemence Housman, sister of A.E. Housman, was best known as an artist in her own day. However, she also published poetry, historical novels, and fantasy stories.

This poem is ostensibly a story about Justin Martyr's mysterious conversation near the seashore with an old man he'd never seen before and never saw again, as he related it in the book Dialogue with Trypho. However, since the general concerns of the character of Justin in this poem are not those in Justin's book, this is probably an autobiographical poem im disguise. Richard Chenevix Trench (1807-1886) was an Anglican clergyman who ended up as archbishop of Dublin. Meanwhile, his philological...

After the death of his brother St. Basil the Great, and after being unable to visit his eldest sister St. Macrina and his last surviving brother for eight long years, St. Gregory of Nyssa finally arrived for a visit and found his formidable sister on her deathbed. In an attempt to cheer him up, St. Macrina held a Socratic dialogue with him. He told about this in her biography, but had no space to include it. In this separate work, he does. Of course, both the vagaries of memory and the points...

A short biography of St. Macrina by her brother, St. Gregory of Nyssa. She was born about AD 330, and died in 379. Hugely intelligent, wise, and holy even by the standards of a family full of saints and theologians, St. Macrina the Younger is a fascinating figure. Readers may wish to pause after part 2 of this biography and go listen to "On the Soul and the Resurrection", a deathbed dialogue written down by St. Gregory of Nyssa to record his sister's teachings.

While America fights a war on one coast, a new front is about to open -- the homefront -- as the enemy attacks civilian towns with a giant war-machine like no other. But the enemy war-machine is a target, too, and there are more ways to win than with guns.... This story stands alone, but is set ten years after the events of the story "Tanks".

Cappen Varra, sophisticated troubador from the sunny cities of Croy, never planned to be at sea on an open longship at midwinter, with a bunch of scruffy Northern barbarians. He also never planned to meet a troll. Poul Anderson wrote science fiction and fantasy with equal facility. In this 1957 story we see some of his love for his Norse heritage and some of his sense of humor. Cappen Varra would later return, in the Thieves' World shared universe anthologies.

A classic collection of tales in poetic form about the seven deadly sins, written in Middle English. Why an audiobook? Because I've never read this classic, and neither have most people. Great poets should be more than just names to us. In this audiobook I attempt Middle English pronunciation, albeit not with entire success. But at least it shouldn't be any harder to understand than your average English speaker with a thick accent. And hey, it's free!

But then he studied philosophy near Beirut (Berytus back then) with Origen, and was converted to Christianity by his efforts. So in this speech of leavetaking from his teacher Origen, St. Gregory Thaumaturgus looks back into the past and thanks his mentor for all his kindness and rigorous care.

He also exhibits a touch of Greek or Manichaean distrust of the material body. But his enthusiasm for Jesus...

A young Carmelite nun in Lisieux, France was asked by her Mother Superior to write down the story of her life. She obeyed, and her simple but deep spirituality -- the "Little Way" -- has encouraged many people to deepen their relationship with God. St. Therese of Lisieux (Therese Martin) died at the age of 24. She has been named one of the thirty-three Doctors of the Church, for the profoundness of her teachings.

Includes transcript of one of his talks to the monks.

Not too many years after St. Paul wrote two letters to the Corinthians, the then-bishop of Rome, St. Clement, wrote them a letter also. This extremely early Christian piece of writing is full of interesting stuff about unity and the problems of Christians in Corinth, and much will be found highly relevant to Christians today.

Some of the theology, Biblical interpretation, and Christian practice that he advocates has been developed further since his time. So you may need to take these bits with a grain of salt. But much...

A medieval legend of how the Gaelic language was invented -- by Fenius Farsaidh and a horde of ancient post-Tower of Babel linguistics scholars. Celtic fun! Excerpted from the Auraicept na nEces , a linguistics and rhetoric primer for Irish poets.

Not just another sermon on the story of the repentant woman who washed Jesus' feet. Ephrem adds his own poetic touch, making his point by elaborating on the story and adding new characters.
